Tripawds Three Legged Dog & Cat Forum Archives

Kali has been a tripawd for almost 6 months now and has been doing well .. But last night I think she might've slipped or fell? I came downstairs to find her at the bottom of the steps just lying down. Then when I was petting her, even the lightest touch made her whimper & cry :'( We tried getting her on the bed but whenever we tried moving her she started growling and wasn't happy with us at all (of course, I can't blame her!) She's eating fine and she tries to follow me wherever I go in the house. I tried to get her to stay on her bed but she forces herself to get up and whimpers all the way to wherever I am. So I try just staying close to her so she doesn't move too much. The pet emergency clinic is not a place I want her to go because it seems like all they do is just send her home with pain meds and tells us to call her regular vet & ends up charging us an arm and a leg just to do so. I'm waiting until 0730 to bring her in when her vets place opens but until then was wondering if I could get some advice on how to get her in the car or if there's an over the counter med that I can give her to help her relax? (I gave her 1 tablet of rimadyl & 2 tables of tramadol at noon and it doesn't seem to be helping her) The next dose is at midnight but I don't want her in pain :'( Any help would be greatly appreciated...
